My First Day Of School

1.Contact with members of the lower castes always reminded him painfully of this physical inadequacy

The traffic at the strip was ridiculous, but some how we manage to turn the traffic situation to our benefit by getting contaminated with the party feeling there was in the air. Soon enough, my thoughts of swimming in the ocean and walking on the sand demolish into a tailgating feeling. Our summer trip had turn into our last spring break trip we had a couple of weeks ago.

It was almost 4am and we had slept in the cold LAX airport on black and while marble floor. Very comfortable and accommodating. At this point a cardboard box on a heating grate in New York would be the Ritz Carlton. Jamie and I stared at each other coldly, hating each other, damp sweat and anxiety poured over us. Silence. We just want to get out of here. "This sucks." Was a common response to our deliriously back and forth conversation as we tried to keep our spirits up.

Ever since I was a little girl, New York City always seemed like a place that was magical. My family’s TV on Thanksgiving was always broadcasting the enormous balloons, extravagant floats, and millions of people lining the streets of the city for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Freshman year, excited squeals and giggles erupted from my brother and I after our parents told us that we would be visiting New York City for the first time to witness the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. After several months of waiting and lots of turbulence, our plane hit the landing with a thunk at Laguardia airport and reality set in: we were in the city. Walking out of the airport was absolutely surreal. The sights, sounds, and smells surrounded my family and

Walking into the open-air lobby of the hotel never felt better. Staring in awe, I could feel the warm tropical breeze blowing my hair in every direction. I could hear so many sounds that I have only heard through the speakers of my computer. Monkeys jumping from tree to tree, tropical birds chirps echoing through my ears, and I could taste my refreshing fruit drink. As I was experiencing all of this in just a few minutes, I knew that this would be my new favorite vacation.

Three days after my high school graduation, Randolph and I spent a day in a whole new city. Being from Roselle, I had never really been to one of the most beautiful city such as downtown Chicago. Spending the day in Chicago was like discovering a new way of living life that I had only heard from siblings and the news. I checked my bags to make sure I didn’t leave anything essential behind and I checked them five more times. we were sleepy during the flight as we arrived at the airport and made our way to the gate. The streets are filled with an atmosphere that is like a child on a shopping spree in a candy store. I was thrilled as I realized that I was in one of the biggest airport in the United States. watching the Chicago Cubs win the World Series was the most amazing feeling.

Walking into my kitchen, one December evening of 2014, I saw the printed itinerary for our upcoming trip. There, at the very top, in my mom’s cursive, was written “Hollywood.” Possessing a deep appreciation for travel and cities, I was thrilled to add another place to my repertoire. With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I rushed into my closet, dug up my scruffy suitcase and lugged it back to my mom. Haphazardly, I began compiling my favorite outfits, my room suddenly resembling a disaster zone. It was then, tangled up in feelings of exhilaration and chaos, that I knew I was in for an unforgettable experience, one that would stay embedded in my memory for years to come.

The struggle of getting up at 3 am was unbearable after the events which had taken place last night. I had no energy what so ever, yet I knew the events about to occur were to be bewildering. Our tour guide sat us all down and explained to us what would happen and all of the risks and procedures. Excitement was running through my veins. We all hopped into a spacious coach which would be taking us on a 6 hour journey to the beach of Cancun. Although the air in the coach was extremely heavy, I managed to catch up on a few hours of sleep. Before I knew it, we had arrived. Cancun beach, the extravagancy of the view I had been looking at was unbearably beautiful. Nothing could beat it. The sun had started to rise. The few rare clouds in the sky

I felt the heat as soon as the door opened. We went to baggage claim and off to hotel we went. In a bus we drove to our resort along with a tour guide. We had arrived and our real adventure began. We were all very excited.

We boarded the plane early in the morning and we were all ready. “What all are we going to do?” asked Dalton. “We’ll see when we get there” I replied excitedly. The plane ride was a lot of fun. We even flew over the Grand Canyon! Then, we arrived.

“We sometimes give so much that we end up losing ourselves.” These few words amounted to so much more after the week long Las Vegas trip and for that they will never be forgotten. The task of playing seven basketball games and still trying to go scope out the Strip, generated a feeling that had submerged you into a feeling of panicky, with an outcome being an anxiety attack in the lobby of the prestigious Caesars Palace.

The first stop was the Marriott Inn our hotel that we were staying at. I got of the bus and grabbed my luggage. The team and I walked into the building and boy was it magnificent. There was a bar, shiny floor tiles that you could see your reflection in, and a sparkly chandelier that was like a crystal blue lake in the morning of summer. We were escorted down to the mezzanine level where we sat there waiting, and waiting, waiting until finally the chaperones said that our room was our said our rooms were ready. The whole team rushed up the stairs like they were the paparazzi and had just found out that all the world's celebrities were on floor 4, or they ran to the elevator where it

The vacation all started on August 22, 2016, with my family driving all the way to the Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas. The airport greeted us with its huge, orange, and gray structure, as it swarmed with numerous people and their luggage. After waiting for our tickets, we arrived at our scheduled plane. The plane contained a Spirit logo with yellow, black, and white colors. After ten minutes of settling down, our massive flight took towards the luminous sky. Throughout the journey, the sky glowed like a large, orange lantern. I became amazed at the sky's beauty, as the Sun's rays kissed the humongous clouds. Once we landed in Orlando, the city sparkled with its large buildings and palm trees. The weather wrapped me and my family with a warm hug. After renting a car, we drove throughout the International Drive, a popular spot of Orlando, and saw incredible sights: the entrance of Universal Orlando, the entrance of Sea World, and billboards that came to life. After the sights, I felt that Orlando and I would make a beautiful friendship.

As she drove us throughout the busy streets of Las Vegas and down the famous Las Vegas Blvd. until we approached the one and only Flamingo. Once we arrived at to hotel we looked at the line of people we knew it would be a wait before we got our room. After we finally checked in, we went up to the room, changed into our bathing suits and headed for the pool. Once we finally found our way around to the pool, we took some pictures of all of the palm trees that were surrounding us

My eyes swung open as the car shook. I glanced out the window and noticed that we were in a desert at night. It seemed as if our family was in the middle of nowhere. A brief moment later, I noticed a group of lights emerge on the horizon. I waited impatiently as we approached it. My excitement rose as it got closer and closer to us. I then saw one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. It was a crowded area with casinos, shopping malls, and hotels everywhere. Each individual building lit up the night sky with its vibrant colors. They each attracted the visitors with its unique architecture and design. The sidewalks were jammed with visitors from across the nation. We were at the Las Vegas Strip.
